Hi everyone . I am new here and I am not even sure if I am asking in the right place. How can I find out if my Coach purse serial number is real or fake? I accidentally packed the fake with the real and now I can not remember which is which. Thank you for any help you may offer

You should post pictures of the bags with the creeds in the authenticate thread located in the shopping section of the forum. If one was made in Korea, that is the fake.

Awesome sauce. Although I needed to break my habit of finding and bidding on listings late at night on a 7” tablet.:lol: Yes, that is how I got my Classic Compartment Tote and Open Market tote lol, but I make myself at least look at pic on my laptop monitor first before bidding or making an offer.

Can someone identify this bag? I found it while cleaning out my mother’s things. Thanks!

Can you provide measurements? I found a 1963 Saks ad in my files, that shows a similar bag, called a "long overarm tote with outside purse." This was around the time Bonnie Cashin was working for Coach, although the ad does not appear to mention Coach. If @RL Bernstein is around she should be able to tell you a lot more about it.

Well I thought I would let go of my Avenue bag.. finished conditioning and then stared at it for a while. Then suddenly wondered, does it fit my tablet? Lo and behold it fits with room to spare for my keys, wallet etc!! It fits easily in the main compartment. It fits in the front pocket too but it's a snug fit in there. I love it when it works out just right and I didn't have to go looking for a vintage Coach that would fit my tablet just right. [emoji3]

I almost kept mine because it was perfect for my tablet but I didn't need another tablet bag. I didn't like that it has no depth and doesn't stand up by itself. I love the look of the bag though. What color is yours?

I just checked and sure enough, my latest sweetheart Sheridan Elliot holds my iPad mini in the back pocket. How cool is this? I am in love!

The Bonnie Cashin bag above is 10.5” wide and 14.5” tall. (I couldn’t figure out how to edit my post!)

OK thanks, here's a comparison, with slightly different measurements, and different lining:

Post your vintage/classic pieces here!

Does yours have a slip pocket on the back?

ETA: There's a time limit for editing your posts, I'm not sure how long you have, but you'll see an EDIT link on the bottom left side of your post if you can still edit it.

Loved wearing my belt bag these past few days. I've been waiting forever for a large coach red belt to come up on eBay so that I can match it to my bag, but it's pretty darn rare haha. All of them are size small!
